Brown Teepee vs Hearth Red

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Brown Teepee reads as pink, while Hearth Red reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Brown Teepee (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Hearth Red (LRV 13), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 18.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
